Title: Improvements in or relating to Matrix Setting and Type Line Casting Machines.
IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1909-09-15
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 21,097. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Nov. 14, 1908, [Convention date]. Distributing matrices.-Relates to machines for producing mixed matter or copy in which the matrices are supported at different levels, and consists in bringing the matrices, after the casting, to the same level by a rotary movement of the bar which supports the matrices in the upper position. Matrices composed in the upper position are supported in the elevator a, Fig. 1, by a spindle b having a groove c which is engaged by the bottom lugs of the matrices. The spindle b is provided with teeth which engage racks f adapted to be moved by levers h. When the elevator rises, the levers h strike stops i on the machine frame whereby the spindle b is rotated and the upper matrices are drawn down. An arm l on the spindle bears against a stop on the machine to prevent rotation of the spindle before the casting. In a modification, the upper matrices rest on a projection o, Fig. 5, formed on a part of the elevator which is hinged to the main part a and is rocked to release the matrices by the engagement of pins r with cam projections q on the machine frame. If the matrices are to be supported at more than two different levels, the number of projections on the elevator is increased.

Patent GB-190930006-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Portable Railways and Conveyors for Running thereon for Conveying the Cut Coal in Mines and Discharging the same.
Inventor: ADAIR JOHN
IPC: B65G35/00
Filed: 1909-12-23
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 30,006. Adair, J. Dec. 23. Hopper wagons.-Relates to improvements on the light railway system described in Specification 26,773/08, for conveying cut coal through the narrow passages of a coal pit to the hatch boxes into which it is discharged. The conveyers or vehicles F, Fig. 1, are mounted on wheels R, which run on a tubular rail T, which the vehicles overhang as shown, their equilibrium being maintained by rollers R<1> at their upper ends running on a rail A<1>, and rollers R<3> at their bases running against a rail A<2>. The rail T is laid in recesses in bars L, which are bolted to standards H. The angle rail A<1> and the rail A<2> are also supported on the standards H, to which they are hinge-jointed so that they may form a curved or a straight track as may be necessary. The standards may be mounted on rollers R<6>, so that the railway may be readily moved laterally each day as the cutting advances, and they are provided with recesses W<2> to receive wedges for fixing them in position in the roadway. The tubular rail T is in lengths jointed together by bars inserted in their ends, and it is held in its seat by wedges inserted at W<1> so that the rails can easily be removed to permit the daily shift of the railway. The sides of the vehicle or conveyer F consist of a bent sheet of steel carrying the wheels and rollers; the bottom is movable, it being attached to a bent channel-iron C which is pivoted at its upper end at P to arms projecting from the sides of the vehicle so that it will swing outwards with the bottom when a catch x<2> is released by a roller R<5> running on an inclined extension M of the rail A<1>. The swinging out of the bottom of the conveyer to discharge the load is insured by a roller R<4> coming into contact with an inclined striker S. A fixed part of the floor of the conveyer is inclined as at Z to facilitate the discharge. The sides of the conveyer slope outwards from the bottom to the top in order to increase its carrying capacity. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the sides of the conveyer are similarly sloped, but the swinging part, which is of the shape shown by dotted lines, swings inwards about the pivot P, as indicated by the arrow, and its sides are cut away as shown at x<6> to prevent jamming between the sloping sides F. In this case, only two rails are employed, both tubular as shown at T, T<1>. The standards H are bent channel-iron bars, and the rail T<1> is attached to them by means of projections formed on plates bolted to them and passing through slots in the tubes. The rail T is fixed by means of lugs on the tubes (or on their connecting-plugs), secured by split pins to lugs x<3> on plates fixed to the base of the standard H.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 14,764. Sohlman, R., Nordenfelt, H., and MorÚn, H. June 18. Projectile fuses.-Relates to base percussion fuses of the kind in which the primer is brought during flight from an isolated to an operative position relatively to the detonator. According to the invention, a spring h is compressed on discharge by the inertia of a block a which becomes locked to the primer f by a ring d, and, when acceleration is over, the spring pushes the primer f into the detonator and thereby arms the fuse. A flash passage obturator is also used for more safety. In the form shown, a bolt n is released by a pin o, when the primer is armed, and moves outwards by centrifugal force. In another modification the end of the primer fits an isolating recess in the wall A, and becomes exposed to eccentric flash passages after it is armed as described above.

Abstract: 14,823. Ettlingrer, J. June 20. Charges, agitating.- In roasting-furnaces with rotary rabble arms, the teeth on the arms are so arranged that the materials are moved first forward and then backward through a shorter distance, thus obtaining a lengthened time of passage through the furnace without any reduction in the amount of agitation. As shown, the teeth on the portions a, b of the rabble arm are set in opposite directions, but their inclinations to the direction of movement are such that the materials travel gradually to the periphery of the hearth.

Abstract: 21,760. Camelinat, E. G. Sept. 20. Brackets, lamp.-In lamps for motor-cars, motorcycles, &c., so mounted that the light rays can be directed at any required angle, and having co-operating locking-members respectively carried by the lamp and rigidly secured to the forked bracket, the locking-members are positively brought into engagement by means of nuts without the use of intervening springs. The lamp body a, Fig. 2, is connected to a plate b<1> which carries a sleeve b having teeth b<2> on its outer end. A threaded eyebolt c mounted on the upper end of the usual bracket e is passed through the sleeve b, and provided with a nut g in order that the teeth b<2> may be forced into engagement with the teeth f on the bolt when the lamp body is in the desired position. In the modified construction shown in Fig. 9, the sleeve b is screwed externally and split into any number of parts. The divided parts are contracted and forced into frictional engagement with the surface of the bolt c by a nut n. The engaging surfaces may be roughened slightly or serrated. In a modification the outer surface of the split tapered sleeve b is plain, and the bolt c, which is prevented from any longitudinal movement is externally screwed and provided with a wing-nut which is used for forcing the sleeve into frictional engagement with a plain portion of the bolt c. In another modification, the inner face of the bracket e is serrated, and the bolt c is passed through a hole in the bracket.

At the bottom of the magazine, a series of parallel bars 32 close the ends of the plate compartments and there is a margin of space which allows a slot to be formed at the end of any one compartment. The ends 33 of the bars, Fig. 2, project through light-trapped slots, and Fig. 1 shows the bars moved to release plate No. 9, which slides into the exposure chamber, and on tilting the camera falls to the back where it is held in the focal plane by two catches 36 which are turned by turning the projecting ends 36<a>. To return the plate after exposure, an arm 47, Figs. 1 and 8, is moved to the button 9, and the arm 44 is moved up to it and turns a plate 39, which is pivoted to the side of the camera. The upper extension 43 of the plate 39 also carries forward a second plate 40 which is pivoted to the top of the camera. The arm 44 is arrested by the stop on the arm 47 when the plates 39, 40 have moved the exposed plate forward to position opposite slot No. 9, and, on inverting the camera, the plate is returned to the magazine.
